Sprinkler head replacements involve removing and installing new sprinkler heads in a fire protection system to replace damaged, corroded, or non-compliant heads. This ensures proper water distribution, system reliability, and compliance with applicable codes and standards.

- Inspect existing sprinkler heads for corrosion, leaks, damage, or improper operation.
- Remove and safely dispose of obsolete or malfunctioning sprinkler heads.
- Install new sprinkler heads in accordance with NFPA standards, system design, and local code requirements.
- Test and commission the system to ensure proper activation and water flow.
- Update system documentation to reflect changes made during replacement.
- Coordinate with building management and other trades to minimize operational disruption.
